Description
Ready to ride today — no repairs needed. This mid-1980s Firenze GL5000 is a classic steel-framed racing bike in striking metallic red with original gold and yellow graphics. Unlike most vintage finds that arrive as projects, this one has already been sorted: the 15-speed drivetrain shifts smoothly, the wheels run straight, the caliper brakes are responsive, and it's been finished with brand-new black handlebar tape. Roll it out of the box and go.
